Making Art Public: 50 Years of Kaldor Public Art Projects

Each day of Making Art Public, Agatha Gothe-Snape’s Lion’s Honey saw a performer occupy the exhibition space by reading to themselves a chosen book. Starting with David Grossman’s Lion’s Honey, gifted to the artist by John Kaldor, the performers—including the artist herself—accumulated books of their own choosing to read throughout the exhibition.

Set against a backdrop of archival material, the durational performance saw audience engagement range from silent observation to long conversations and book recommendations. An Instagram account @lionshoney also formed part of the work.
